Yeah, exactly.🙂 Psychologists don't write prescriptions. Just a heads-up for anyone wondering why they aren't walking out with a bottle of meds after a session—it’s just not how the system works here. If you need medication, you've got to see a psychiatrist or a GP. It's a separate lane.🙂 🙂
I’d probably just head to a private psychiatrist and lay it all out during the session. Honestly—one of the doctors at the hospital just wrote it for me without much discussion. Why make it complicated? Can I do it this way? I don't want to throw money down the drain. Honestly, I’m just not in the headspace to deal with them right now—not for the long haul, anyway. I just need some time to clear my head... I'm going through a massive crisis in my life at the moment.
Electriccrane67, those sneakers are killer—they look great on you! Quick question though—do they stretch out much after wearing them for a bit? Every pair of jeans I own seems to grow two sizes once I actually wear them, especially the stretchy ones. I really need some that stay tight.
p.s. Where can I find good black denim? (Something like that Lee model Electriccrane67 is rocking?)
Can I just mix my whey with milk and toss it in a shaker bottle to take to class? Is it going to spoil on me after a few hours? Honestly, trying to manage snacks while I'm stuck on campus all day is exhausting—I feel like I've run through every idea I have.
Usually, I just stick to water after a workout, but I heard mixing it with milk for a snack is actually better since it digests slower. And yeah, I'm still focused on losing weight, so I wouldn't bother if it caused extra bulk (someone mentioned that earlier), though that doesn't really make sense to me—it’s just protein, and milk mostly provides the fats anyway.🤷 thanks🙂
Is it actually possible for a girl to build a solid physique—you know, firm glutes and legs without going overboard—without touching supplements? Specifically thinking about whey.
I was chatting about this at the gym today, and some of the regulars there have achieved killer results. They swear they’ve never even touched whey; they just make sure to hit their protein goals through actual food. Meanwhile, I was over here arguing that it's basically impossible to get there without whey.😁
So, which ones are actually better? I’ve been using Gold's Gym🤷—it’s fine, I guess, though I don't get why there's so much bloating (I just mix it with water since I'm cutting right now, not bulking...)
Grace Lewis6 said:Is moderate to high-intensity aerobics "aerobic enough" to require glucose intake afterward? I’m asking about an hour of aerobics that includes roughly thirty minutes of strength and endurance training—so there are some anaerobic elements involved... I honestly don't know what else to do 🤷 There is so much noise in these threads that I can't even see the forest for the trees!!!🙂 And it kind of irritates me how most guys—who are clearly top-tier athletes—completely underestimate aerobics🙂? I don't get it, what have you actually tried that was too hard for you😉? There's aerobic, and then there's *actual* aerobic—real training where sweat gets in your eyes and you're soaking through your clothes, if you catch my drift... Anyway, just needed to vent a little... though I'd rather be venting some extra pounds instead...🙂
🤣🙏 legend🙂
Yeah, it's starting to get on my nerves too. Over the last few days, I've heard a dozen different opinions on glucose, fructose, blah blah blah. And most of them come from people who *should* be experts and actually know what they're talking about, but aren't. 🤷 Back to searching for the forest...
Yeah, I get that. My brother’s a handball player—plays for a major college team—and he always hits the whey and glucose combo right after practice. But honestly, when I'm just hitting the treadmill in the fat-burning zone, I don't think I really need the glucose. That's more for the guys crushing it in the weight room.
Yeah, my bad. I mixed up aerobic and anaerobic. But hey, you caught me.🙂 I’m also thinking you don't really need glucose after low-intensity cardio. Muscles aren't burning through that much fuel, right? I get what you mean about weightlifting and all that.
Do I really need to take whey with glucose just after cardio, or does it matter if I do it after weight training too? (Say, an hour on the elliptical, or some brisk walking, etc.)
So, I’m doing two level scoops of Whey in about 12 ounces of water, and then adding one level scoop of glucose to that, right? btw I picked up that stuff you mentioned at the drugstore🙂
I've got a question: is a 1:1 ratio of Whey and glucose enough, or do I really need to hit that 2:1 mark for the glucose? My workouts aren't exactly high-intensity—nothing crazy—but I still feel like I should be taking something post-training.
Can I just have some raisins instead of adding glucose to my whey shake after a workout? I really don't feel like buying glucose powder, but I've seen people mentioning raisins online. If I go that route, how many should I eat? And is it going to make me gain fat🙂? Honestly, I had to ask...😁
Looking for some advice or if anyone’s dealt with this before
I'm 22. I've never really had issues with body odor before. I tend to sweat a lot—just how my body works—but it was always just water. No smell. (Apparently, sweat itself shouldn't even have an odor...)
But lately, the smell has been intense. Even a little bit of exertion and it hits me. I'm not sure what's causing it. I've been experimenting with some pretty strong deodorants recently, and honestly, I think I might have irritated my skin a bit. Could this just be a surface-level issue from the products? Or is it something internal? (I eat healthy and work out quite a bit)🤷
Should I just wait it out, or is it time to go see a dermatologist?
I think I mentioned this somewhere already—don't go drinking black coffee on an empty stomach... otherwise, you'll be back here soon complaining about "gastritis" issues.
